Congrats to Techland, Deep Silver and Square Enix.  You’ve completely filled the Dead Island with plenty of gamers.  The zombie killer shipped 1 million units in North America in its first week and 2 million worldwide.

“We’re thrilled at the retail reception Dead Island has achieved in its first few days,” said Geoff Mulligan, Chief Operating Officer at Deep Silver, “The critical ‘first week’ of game sales has been an enormous sales success for Deep Silver. We’re working quickly with our distribution partner in North America, Square Enix, to restock shelves as quickly as we can.”

“With more than a million copies sold, I feel good knowing that the world is now more prepared than ever for what to do should a real zombie invasion ever threaten humanity.” said Mike Fischer, president and CEO of Square Enix, Inc.

Have you melee’d any zombies of late?
